Thank you for taking the time to leave such a fantastic 5‑star review. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a smooth and positive experience with Vansdirect.
It’s wonderful to know that the team listened carefully to your requirements and made the entire process simple and stress‑free. Great communication is something we pride ourselves on, so we’re really pleased to hear that you were kept updated from the initial order right through to delivery — and even with a follow‑up call afterwards to ensure everything was perfect.
Your kind words about the team’s friendly, non‑pushy approach mean a great deal. We’re thrilled that you found everyone so easy to deal with and that you’d feel confident recommending us to others.
If you ever need anything in the future, we’re always here to help.
Kind regards,
Liza.

Excellent Customer Service
Our first time using Vansdirect was 6 months ago, WOW what service. Dealing with Glen & Talisha has made the experience of buying vans actually enjoyable. We are on our 4th deal. I only have to email Glen who immediately get the quotations over to me and the best deal. Once accepted Talisha promptly get the delivery date and carry's on the fabulous customer service. I cant recommend Vansdirect highly enough.

Vansdirect is an excellent business - all round
Having dealt directly with Vansdirect for a number of years, I can highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new vehicle and have recommended them personally to my clients. The staff are all extremely knowledgeable and are responsive from enquiry to delivery.

Very disappointing experience
Very disappointing experience. At first great they found me a pre registered van available not far away. Paid deposit then full amount, signed order form on 21st Jan. Clearly stated 10-14 day delivery. After 2 weeks or so got a call stating delivery would be 18th Feb. I questioned this as it was well outside the agreed time and eventually cancelled order as they had not fulfilled the agreement on 11th Feb. Despite when I paid money went in straight away to their account, and after repeated requests eventually got final repayment on 18th a week later ! Wish I had looked at the reviews before hand.

Can’t rate Simon over at VansDirect any higher. I have now used him multiple times when sourcing vehicles for my clients and every time has been flawless. His communication is excellent, the vehicles arrive when they are supposed to and each transaction has been easy. If you run a business and you need a new van, give Simon Brown a call, he won’t let you down!

My company has leased many vehicles/Vans from this company. They supplied a Van which was not fit for purpose. We spoke with them Day 1 and they were unhelpful. We are not using the Van and taking this company to regulatory bodies. VERY POOR CUSTOMER RELATIONS WE WILL NEVER USE AGAIN BE WARE.
Beverley you can contact me anytime you are aware of my direct number, although I do not believe you value your customers and your one STAR POOR reviews clearly highlight that. Adam

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience.
After reviewing your case, we can confirm that the vehicle supplied matched the exact specification ordered. As such, the van is fit for the purpose requested and meets all agreed requirements.
We did engage with you from day one and provided guidance based on the order documentation. We remain happy to discuss any further concerns directly to ensure clarity and support where possible.

An update on my last review
An update on my last review.
Absolute shambles of a company selling faulty vans.
Van arrived faulty upon delivery and has broken down 5 times with same fault since march 2025.
Still in a longstanding dispute were they keep telling me it’s not there fault although all contracts are with vans direct.
Take this van back and unwind my contract!!!
Do not use this company!

I’m sorry to hear that you remain unhappy with the situation, and I fully understand how frustrating this has been. I have been personally managing your case and have been in frequent contact with you to ensure every step is handled correctly.
Please be assured that we are continuing to work closely with the manufacturer and are following the required processes to progress this matter as quickly and fairly as possible.
If there is anything further you wish to raise, I will continue to address it directly through our ongoing communication.
Kind regards

Very professional
Very professional, prompt in getting things done. Between my old van dying, going through the process of contacting vans direct, buying a new van and having it delivered only took a Cpl of weeks and that was over Xmas period aswel. Everything went smoothly so can’t pick fault in anything really, Emma, who dealt with me was very professional and helpful from day one! Top marks from me! Reading some of these reviews I feel I’ve dealt with a different company!

Vans direct were threatening and alarming
Vans direct were threatening, discriminating and heavy handed. Having explained to one of their agents that I have autism was told not to use my disability as an excuse. I booked insurance with them for a temporary hire van only to recieve £120 cancellation fee.
Then after leaving 6 messages did never recieve a call back just received a ton of emails and messages to threaten me with collection!!
This company was awful to deal with and would not recommend them at all?

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We believe this review may have been intended for a different company, as we are not connected to the insurance services or actions you described. Our business, Vans Direct does not provide temporary hire van insurance or handle cancellations in the way mentioned.
We will be contacting you directly to confirm this, and we kindly ask that you consider removing or updating your review once verified.
Kind regards,

Do not deal with this company nothing in stock
We were clearly told vans were in stock for fast delivery. It turns out they have to go to a supplier and have no stock. They made a complete mess of our financial paperwork and made that an excuse. , Once that was sorted, we still have no van. This is verging on a scam. Wish we had never seen them

Hi John,
We’re sorry to hear you feel this way and appreciate you sharing your concerns. I want to reassure you that your vehicle is in stock and ready for delivery. The delay occurred because your finance provider required additional security checks to protect your business, which meant we had to pause the process temporarily.
These checks are now complete, and we’ll be in touch very soon to confirm a new delivery date. Thank you for your patience and understanding—we’re committed to getting this resolved quickly.
Best regards,
Beverley

Excellent customer service
My husband had dealings with Simon when purchasing his new van. He’s been kept informed at every step and has since had follow up calls to make sure everything was as it should be.
We turned to Vansdirect after previously purchasing, and returning a van to a dealership where the service was shocking.
Simon and his colleagues at Vansdirect have restored our faith in buying online.
